 On January 24th an enthusiastic crowd filled the S.Pedro Auditorium, Cantanhede, Portugal, to attend the performance of the String Quartet of Cantanhede, accompanied by accordionist João Gentil. Organized by the municipality, the concert program was focused on the interpretation of melodies and rhythms, including the best known artistic expression of Argentina - the tango.In a note about the program of the show, Rodrigo Queirós, Artistic Director of the String Quartet of Cantanhede, describes the repertoire included in this show as “exploring the world of Argentinean tango," a process that was "the desire to play other musical pieces that could also exploit the potential of this combination between the string quartet and the bandoneón or accordion."
